CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

10. CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized from customer arrangements, including licensing, exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Contract assets are generally classified as current. The Company classifies the noncurrent portion of contract assets under other assets in its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of cost incurred and deferred revenue.

Net contract assets (liabilities) consisted of the following:

	September 24, 2022			December 25, 2021			$ Change		% Change
Contract assets —current	$	4,605,889		$	2,299,392		$	2,306,497		100	%
Contract liabilities—current		(1,097,919	)		(4,063,031	)		2,965,112		(73	)%
Contract liabilities—noncurrent		(8,156	)		(20,664	)		12,508		(61	)%
Net contract assets (liabilities)	$	3,499,814		$	(1,784,303	)	$	5,284,117		(296	)%

The $5.3 million increase in the Company’s net contract assets (liabilities) at September 24, 2022 as compared to December 25, 2021 was primarily due to a change in contracts with the U.S. government that resulted in revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed and product revenue recognized over time for defense programs.

In the three and nine months ended September 24, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $0.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively, related to our contract liabilities at December 25, 2021. In the three and nine months ended September 25, 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $1.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively, related to our contract liabilities at December 26, 2020.

The Company did not recognize impairment losses on our contract assets in the three or nine months ended September 24, 2022 or September 25, 2021.

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of orders for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts (e.g., indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (“IDIQ”). As of September 24, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $20.6 million which the Company expects to recognize over the next 12 months. The remaining performance obligations represent amounts to be earned under government contracts, which are subject to cancellation.
